Quotations regarding 'Pressure'

Choose a letter:

Herman Kahn, American Scientist (1922-1983)
It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.
Al Kaline, American Athlete (1934-  )
It is fatal for any body of workers to have forever hanging from the fringes of its skirts other bodies on a level just below its own; for that means continual pressure downward, additional difficulty to be overcome in the struggle to maintain reasonable rates of wages.
Florence Kelley, American Activist (1859-1932)
The team which handles the pressure best, carries the day.
Imran Khan, Pakistani Athlete (1952-  )
And when the pressure was on us, the team handled it very well. One has to learn to play well under pressure.
Imran Khan, Pakistani Athlete (1952-  )
Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match the pressure is doubled.
Imran Khan, Pakistani Athlete (1952-  )
The pressure began to mount as I kept winning every time and people were anxious to see if I could be beaten.
Jahangir Khan, Pakistani Athlete (1963-  )
The work requires a moderately large investment in technological and theoretical developments and long periods of time to carry them out, without the pressure to achieve quick or short term results.
Aaron Klug, British Physicist (1926-  )
Food fighters in Japan think of themselves as athletes. They have a higher recognition of the game and are constantly thinking about records. I probably won't continue for long because it puts pressure on the body. But I am at the age where I can perform my best.
Takeru Kobayashi, Japanese Celebrity (1978-  )
I was serving good but was returning especially well, which was a weakness in my game. So not only was I serving well, but I was also breaking these other guys, and they felt the pressure.
Richard Krajicek, Dutch Athlete (1971-  )
Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole milk, all this fat. People don't realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating.
Jack LaLanne, American Athlete (1914-2011)
My obligation as president, and what I promise the country, is that the courts will be able to do their job free of all pressure.
Ricardo Lagos, Chilean Politician (1938-  )
Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure.
Tommy Lasorda, American Coach (1927-  )
I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities.
Joshua Lederberg, American Scientist (1925-2008)
The good thing from my perspective is that nobody puts any pressure on me to say what it's going to be. The backers accept that they don't know what they are going to get.
Mike Leigh, British Director (1943-  )
I don't think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn't have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am.
Lisa Leslie, American Athlete (1972-  )
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures.
Vince Lombardi, American Coach (1913-1970)
Under so much pressure and the situation that I was in, that was the personality that came across with me.
LaToya London, American Musician (1978-  )
The pressure makes me more intent about each shot. Pressure on the last few holes makes me play better.
Nancy Lopez, American Athlete (1957-  )
There's a problem with political polling in that you have so much pressure to do what your client wants you to do and say what your client wants you to say. I've never felt that pressure. I am independent of the political parties.
Frank Luntz, American Politician
